Error codes:

* 108 DID: DIDNUMBER NOT found
* 109 DID: DIDNUMBER in Pending/Remove status
* 110 DID: DIDNUMBER NOT renewed
* 111 Invalid status code. Valid codes: 0 - Disable, 1 - Enable

Through a Sandbox control panel these error messages are given to a user if the server believes that it is under-attack.

Answer 3

Yeah, I'm getting the same thing. I tested my code on their production URL and it worked just fine.

Given how much they are focused on developers, it's amazing how horrible their API is. I can get points and follow other people on their little social network, x.com, but I CAN'T TELL WHAT THE CURRENT VERSION OF THE API IS!?! (You have to view the source of the webpage and find it embedded in an HTML comment) </rant>

Answer 4

From what I've read around, this can be a sign of malformed data. In my case, I was sending the form as

multipart/form-data

instead of

application/x-www-form-urlencoded

I hadn't read anywhere in the docs about form encoding, but as soon as I changed it the PP server got a lot more friendly.
